E. GRADY JOLLY, Circuit Judge:

Sally A. Reagan filed this qui tam lawsuit under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, holding that the suit was barred by the Act's jurisdictional bar (31 U.S.C. § 3730(e)(4)(A)) and, alternatively, that Reagan's claims failed on the merits. Reagan appeals and we affirm.
